The year before?
How long since your last major outage?
List of major outages we've had:
5/30/2008: down hard for 7 hours because our server kept crashing and we didn't implement backup servers yet at that point. Note this was 3 months after we started beta service, and also note we implemented a backup data center
a week later.
10/21/2008: down hard for 4 hours. our failover scripts weren't working properly, and fixed after this.
5/31/2009: intermittent up/down for 1 hour because service was bouncing between primary and backup servers.
12/8/2011: 100% down for 15 minutes, 25% down for another 2 hours. (see my previous post)
2/28/2012: a couple of minor outages (a few minutes each) - service automatically failed over.
Total downtime in
5 years: about 14-15 hours.
Total downtime the last
4 years: about 3 hours.
